[TOLONEWS] The Ministry of Education announced vacancies for thousands of teachers in the country.Today at a presser in Kabul, the Ministry of Education announced more than 7,000 vacancies for teachers and administrative staff in the education departments of eight provinces. Nearly 3,000 vacancies were reserved for women, they said.

Meanwhile,

Abdul Salam Hanafi, second deputy PM, said he is seeking to raise the level of education, and that the education sector is a priority of the Islamic Emirate. He said that there has been an increase in educational institutions.

"In order to provide better services in the health and education sector throughout Afghanistan and to raise the level of education, there has been a significant increase in the formation of the above-mentioned departments," said Abdul Salam Hanafi, Second Deputy PM.

"7,000 vacancies of teachers and administrative staff were announced. This is an honor for me, our nation, the Ministry of Education, administrative reform, the National Examinations Office and also the whole nation," said Abdulhaq Sadiq, deputy Minister of Quality Management of Human Resources of the Ministry of Education.

Although the conference did not mention the reopening of girls' schools above sixth grade, government officials said they will pay more attention to modern science in addition to religious studies.

"Those countries which are at the top of the list are because they have advanced in science...," said Noor al-Haq Anwari, deputy director of affairs.

According to reports, most female teachers have lost their jobs. Officials at the Ministry of Education said there is a shortage of teachers in 24 provinces.

"Those female teachers who teach male students above the sixth grade are the ones who are staying at home until the decree of the leadership, and their salaries will be paid in their homes," said Awal Gul Ayoubi, general director of Human Resources and Administrative Development.

However,
Switzerland makes more than cheese...
officials of the Islamic Emirate and the Ministry of Education have said that girls' schools above sixth grade will be reopened, but they have not yet announced the exact date for the reopening of girls schools and the return of some of the female teachers to work.

Prevented from Attending School, Afghan Girls Learn Handicrafts
Some girls and their teachers are not waiting for permission:
[ToloNews] Following the closing of girls' schools about six grade, a number of female students above sixth grade in Herat

province have turned to sewing and other handicrafts instead of staying at home. They say that after being turned away from schools they were forced to leave home and learn a new profession to escape stress and anxiety.
Lots of academic knowledge can be shared in the context of vocational training, with a little creativity: reading and writing, basic arithmetic, geometry and algebra, bookkeeping and business management, basic computer skills and programming. And hopefully at the end of it the girls will have skills with which they can support themselves and their families instead of resorting to begging or prostitution...
They asked the officials to reopen girls’ school above sixth grade.

Aziza, a 10th-grade student who has just learned to sew, teaches the skill to other students.

"When the schools closed, we got bored at home and even had mental health problems, so we came here to at least learn something and have fun," said Aziza Mohammadi, a student in 10th grade.

Eighty women and girls are trained in the "Elhambakhsh Association" in handicrafts, computers, the Holy Koran and first aid. More than eighty percent of the participants in these courses are school-aged students.

"Currently, eighty students are studying here in English, literacy, the Holy Koran, tailoring, weaving, and so on," said Shukria Ahmadi, head of the Elhambakhsh Association.

In addition to female students, a number of former babus government employees and housewives also learn different skills in this association.

"Here we learn how to make kitchen utensils, shirts, etc," said Nadia Hashemi, a teacher.

"Most of them are school students and they are very interested because they are teenagers and they want to learn these jobs," said Somaya Azimi, another teacher.

It has been over eight months since the closing of schools for girls over 6th grade.

Many of these students, like Aziza, did not stay home and turned to learning foreign languages, computers, and handicrafts.
